Mazda CX-5 Change Vehicle

"Had a short in the electrical module located in the driver's side door that controls all of the electrical systems (got water in it). After charging the car, it wouldn't shut off; it was very bizarre. Had to have it towed to the dealer; ended up costing $500, $100 of which I got comped by Mazda (parts only)"

"I had just left the dealership for a tune-up, and a tire check had been part of the service. The monitor went off before I'd gone 1/2 a mile from the dealership. Now, I ignore it"

"Low pressure warning light went on, but all of the tires actually were properly inflated"

"Noises - metal filings in fluid. Mazda replaced under warranty"

"In for Transmission issues twice. Both for very rough shifting. First time the were able to reduce it but did not go away. Second time car was no under the Mazda warranty (just a little over) but was covered by a 100,000 one. Mazda agreed to replace it under the warranty from the other insurere"

"Whining noise"

"would not engage when shifted into gear for up to 30 seconds. Once it did it was a very rough and loud apparent "Clunk" when it finally engaged"

"Transmission does not shift into next gear while accelerating Even after reprogramming by Mazda, I've had a repeat of the problem"

"at times car will "clunk" into upper lower gear, especially at low speeds. Car is driven on highway 90% of the time"

"air conditioning system requires annual repairs"

"Heater core"

"The heater core went bad (minimal heat to cabin, intermittent check engine light). After several attempts to diagnose, we finally got the car to the Mazda dealer with the check engine light on. Why the computer didn't store the code was never explained. The dealer service dept. wanted $1300 for an out of warranty fix. We balked, did some research and found this was a pervasive issue with this model. We contacted Mazda HQ and they worked with us to get this fixed by the dealer for just $65"

"Drivers seat is coming apart where it attaches to base. Second seat to do so since I bought the car new"

"Paint peeling off rear bumper"

"The paint is sold with little to no clear coat and will fade at the slightest tree sap and bird poop. It's unacceptable"

"Windshield chips and marks easily"

"It is the same issue --locks with the liftgate"

"Tailgate would not open when unlocking with key fob or from drivers door. Took back to Mazda several times for service, was serviced for free, but still experiencing intermittent problems"

"At certain speeds a very noticeable vibration was present"

"If you fill the gas tank to high, lights on the dashboard light up and affect the car. Traction light comes on and car is hardly driveable. Occasionally the light traction light and engine light come on for no reason. Once on way home from oil cha"

"Problem has recently appeared, where roughly 2-3 oz of oil will leak per day. Has not been determined if there is a failed gasket or crack in the oil line"

"Water intrusion into harness caused corrosion which caused the battery to drain, security system to lock out engine preventing jump starting and a host of other electrical issues. There was a TSB issued by Mazda but they wouldn't cover this under warranty"

"One of the injectors failed while driving. Car went into "limp mode" and would only go 25mph. Mazda replaced under warranty"
